Metasploit on Windows

[rekcahpmip at gmail.com (Jon D)]

This may not be the place to do requests, but seeing the new version
come out has made me remember something I've always wanted and never
bothered to mention.

It would be nice to have the windows version have command line options
for everything outside of its own shell. (AKA, installing, updating,
and running it)

For example, if you gain access to a computer and have a shell on it,
you then want to pivot from that position. The trick is how. With the
current metasploit, you have to install it, and either run a gui or
run it in it's own custom shell. But if you only have command line
access to the compromised box, you cannot install metasploit onto it,
and even if you could, you couldn't run it from the command line.

Anyway, just a thought. I think it would be useful.
